KFC faces boycott in China over meal toy promotion
A top Chinese consumer group has called for a boycott of a KFC meal promotion, saying it encourages food waste.

New Delhi, 13 January 2022

As per news report of BBC, the China Consumers Association (CCA) says the promotion sent some customers into a buying frenzy. KFC launched the promotion last week with Pop Mart, a Chinese toy maker known for its mystery boxes. Customers are able to collect limited edition versions of large-eyed and round-faced Dimoo dolls when buying certain KFC set meals. KFC "used limited-edition blind box sales to induce and condone consumers' irrational and excessive purchase of meal sets, which goes against public order, good customs and the spirit of the law", the state-affiliated CCA said in a statement.
